Good morning everyone! I'm very excited and looking forward to these new workouts! I bought the Fit Tower a few months ago and I'm so happy I did. Originally, I was just going to use my weight bench with the barbell on it as a barre, but that was such a pain in the tuchus so I ended up avoiding...

"Your item departed our USPS facility in BELLMAWR, NJ 08031 on December 19, 2015 at 1:29 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination." Since I live in Brooklyn, NY, it looks like I'm getting my package today! Woo hoo!!

Cathe's Cuing I just wanted to add that I'm fascinated by the way Cathe cues. For example, when she says "right foot" she and the crew are using their left feet. Years ago, I think she said that's why she wears that little stretchy bracelet...so she can remember to use the foot or go in the...

Melanie, this was the first of the new DVDs that I did too and I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same excitement I used to feel whenever I received a new Cathe step "tape" in the mail in the late 90s!! I had to modify the spins that Cathe does...I sometimes get a bit dizzy when I spin...

I can hardly wait! Cathe Friedrich became a part of my life in 1997 when I first learned of her step tapes through the old Video Fitness forum! I understand that not everyone likes step...I used to feel that way about kick boxing when it became popular until I did KICK, PUNCH & CRUNCH and I...

Cher, good thing it wasn't your big toe! That one is a workhorse and you'd probably be looking at a longer down time. I broke my middle toe the day after Thanksgiving (exactly the same way "gratefuldog's" husband did!). I didn't get a boot or crutches. I just had to keep the toe taped to the...

Hi ladies, I'm wiped out just reading about your workouts!! I finished STS on August 5th!!! My arms look TOTALLY different. They were thin but firm before, but now I've got some fierce definition! I have to get around to posting a picture for proof! I spent the past couple of weeks running...

Weider Pro 340L Weight Bench The distance from the outer edge of one support to the other is 38" inches. This is important because your barbell grip area must be LONGER than 38" so that you can rest it safely and evenly on the supports. I hope you understand what I mean!!! The whole thing takes...

Hi Gina and Nancy! You ladies have been super busy I see! I'm on Disc 33 today. I have some DOMS from Disc 32 (Plyo Legs) plus I ran/walked 4 miles the day after I did Disc 32 so the full effect of the DOMS didn't hit me until today (but Disc # 33 is shoulders, biceps and triceps so I should be...

Still hanging in there! Hi Gina! I'm still hanging in there!! I'm on Disc 33 (as a matter of fact, I'll be starting it in a little bit!). Life threw a few curve balls at me these past few weeks and I should be on Disc# 34 today but I'm not going to worry about that too much. I took a few weeks...

Weider Pro 340L Weight Bench a Good Alternative! Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a few weeks. I'm on Disc 33 of Mesocycle 3 and I really wanted to comment on this thread. I couldn't find a Turbo Tower either and as I quickly realized, you really need a bench to get the most out of STS and...

Everything Cathe does is top notch. A foam roller/trigger point release DVD would be fantastic. If you've ever had tight knots in your muscles, then maybe you know how effective trigger point massage & myofascial massage can be. Do it Cathe!!

This would make a great Christmas gift for home exercisers and I would definitely get it for myself too!!

Hi Gina, I have to confess, at the beginning of every run, there's always a bit of the dread factor for me too. It takes a while for these middle-aged limbs to loosen up! Unfortunately, I also have beta Thalassemia trait (very low hemoglobin). There's nothing I can do (short of a blood...

Hi ladies! I haven't posted in a few weeks but I'm still hanging in there and I'm glad you are too. Later today I will be doing Disc#19 in Mesocycle Two (boy was I happily surprised that there were no pushups!! OK so I'm lazy...). I haven't gone to the park to do chin-ups and pull-ups the...

Hi Gina and Natasha! It looks like we're on track to finish pretty much around the same time! I started April 30th and this morning I finished Disc#6, legs. Gina, when I figure out how to update my profile, you'll see that I have almost all of Cathe's workouts (I almost called them...

You ladies are awesome! @Nancy: Nancy, the other day I mentioned that I should be able to crank out 3 or 4 chin ups but was I sorely mistaken!!! I barely got the third one out with good form! I wasn't too discouraged though...chin-ups are like push-ups...you have to keep at 'em and you can...

Since this is my first time doing STS, I'll be happy to make it through my first time! Six times? Very impressive!!! Nancy, to answer your question... Before I got the STS series, I was going to my local park just to get used to hanging (chin-up style) from the chin-up bar, since I don't...

Hi Nancy, Fun indeed! But tough too!! I just did Disc#3 (Legs) this morning. Those forward lunges with the disc are NOT easy, lemme tell ya! I woke up long-dormant muscles in my butt with those lunges! Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi Natasha, I started on Monday, April 30th! I'm going to try to stick with a MWF routine for STS. I did disc# 3 this morning and I loved it (those forward lunges with the disc are super tough!). It's great that Gina is starting in May also. She should definitely contact me or we can start a...
